Hi Guys,

Is there an option or a way to display Author Email on article level, specifically the author that is “Principal contact for editorial correspondence”.

Cheers!

Hi @Nazimm,

Have you tried configuring the Reading Tools as Journal Manager? There’s a “contact the author” tool that will be shown as part of the article view if it’s enabled.

Hi all,

For OJS 3.x, I would suggest having the authors enter their ORCID IDs; this will cause the published article to include links to their ORCID profiles, and all the tools available there.

Thank you!, Unfortunately, that practice is not common yet for all people, we need some flexibility. Can I do it by modifying the theme files? I do have some experience web, as I used to develop website in wordpress. But I ask rather we have easier or better option.

Hi @Mikhael_Johanes,

This would require some modifications to the Smarty templates, or a child theme that overrides the templates completely. Where you see calls in the templates like {$author->getFullName()|escape}, that’s a Smarty call to the getFullName function on the Author class. Similarly, you can call the getEmail function.

Hi @asmecher,
I can fetch author email by using code {$author->getEmail()}. This will fetch email for all authors.

I want to fetch email only for corresponding author. What codes should I use to check if the author is a corresponding author?

I am using OJS 3.1.1

Best regards,

Never mind, I got it. It is:
{if $author->getPrimaryContact()}

You may add the following code to display corresponding author email:
Corresponding author email: <a href="mailto:{$author->getEmail()}">{$author->getEmail()}</a>
